New Office

I've been working hard at my job on the company's QMS and was granted a new office. It's a little cramped, but it's definitely a step up in the world, and now I'll be able to work with others in a private setting, as opposed to the public cubicle I worked from previously.

In my first QA job, was given a nice lab, but shared an office with the production manager on the other end of the building. Was a pain walking from office to lab and lab to office just to enter data, so I came in early and moved my desk and computer into the lab. No one said anything about my takeover, and I kept it for two years. Then management kicked me out (and all the lab equip) to make it a private office for the production manager! I got moved into a storeroom with all the lab equipment and two other people.
Part of my lab work involved making colored PVC cement - so you can imagine the smell. It got out of control so I left there.

Hogheaven,

Have you ever seen Office Space? Your experience reminds me of the guy they put in the basement! Wow, I thought that only happened in the movies!

Hopefully your workspace is more comfortable now.

Actually, it was only marginally better at the next place. I got a large penthouse office in the middle of the plant, which was great, but no desk, no computer, no phone. I had to scrounge all the stuff myself from wherever I could find it. I found an old desk out by the dumpster that had no drawers, so I made some from wood, and had the forklift operator crane it up there, used my own laptop and phone, and stole a chair from the cafeteria for my desk.
After a year, they gave me a computer they were throwing out, and after 2 years, I got a phone installed. (not there anymore either)

I am looking for materials related to TL9000. Just took over project to implement and trying to wrap my arms around it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Wow. My first QA "office" was the plant electrical closet... I was told often how lucky I was they cleaned it out first. It had been storage for outdated or broken equipment. Then we had to rent some additional space for our expansion (we are building a new plant). I got to share a large office with windows for a while - then we got booted out to cubicles so they could turn the office into a seldom used training room for our new ERP system. I spend a lot of time in the lab and have no phone in here. But I hope it will all be good again in the new place. =)

I wonder if this is common -is it a perception of management? Is the QA dept really that far down to them?
Any other people experience this?
